9 Applications
9.1 Correct cutting direction
Work must be performed with the driving side
(Z) of the wire, as the cutting conditions are
best in this manner.
9.2 Incorrect cutting direction
Cutting should only be performed with the
slack side (S) of the wire if there is no possible
alternative.
Only cut with the slack side of the wire (S) if it
is not possible to place the machine in any
other position, or in restricted conditions.
Explanation: The wire must tensioned with a
very high force to provide sufficient contact
pressure per bead, as the contact length of the
wire is very long.
